Gun Collectors Dream Auction #88 December 5th & 6th
Lot 58:
Description
This lot comprises a group of 150 rounds of 28-gauge shotgun ammunition produced by Fiocchi Ammunition. The cartridges are organized into six individual 25-round factory boxes, identified by the product code 28HV75. These loads are specifically configured as High Velocity field rounds, featuring 2 3/4-inch red plastic ribbed hulls with high brass-plated heads. Each shell is loaded with 3/4 oz of 7.5 lead shot, achieving a specified muzzle velocity of 1300 feet per second. The packaging features a distinctive illustrated design with pheasant and dove imagery against a gray and black background with the Fiocchi shield logo. Extensive markings on the boxes specify the gauge, shell length, shot weight, velocity, and shot size. The shells themselves are clearly printed with the manufacturer name, load type, and technical specifications in black ink. These loads are consistent with specialized field dynamics for upland bird hunting.
Condition report:
The ammunition appears to be in good, original condition with no visible signs of corrosion or moisture damage to the brass-plated heads or plastic hulls. The cartridges are neatly packed and appear to be factory-new old stock. The cardboard packaging exhibits moderate shelf wear, including scuffing to the surfaces, softening at the corners, and minor tearing at the tuck flaps. One box retains an original retail price sticker. The integrity of the boxes remains intact despite the exterior cosmetic wear.
